Subject: [PATCH v11 2/2] livepatch,x86: Clear relocation targets on a module removal
Josh reported a bug:
When the object to be patched is a module, and that module is
rmmod'ed and reloaded, it fails to load with:
module: x86/modules: Skipping invalid relocation target, existing value is nonzero for type 2, loc 00000000ba0302e9, val ffffffffa03e293c
livepatch: failed to initialize patch 'livepatch_nfsd' for module 'nfsd' (-8)
livepatch: patch 'livepatch_nfsd' failed for module 'nfsd', refusing to load module 'nfsd'
The livepatch module has a relocation which references a symbol
in the _previous_ loading of nfsd. When apply_relocate_add()
tries to replace the old relocation with a new one, it sees that
the previous one is nonzero and it errors out.
He also proposed three different solutions. We could remove the error
check in apply_relocate_add() introduced by commit eda9cec4c9a1
("x86/module: Detect and skip invalid relocations"). However the check
is useful for detecting corrupted modules.
We could also deny the patched modules to be removed. If it proved to be
a major drawback for users, we could still implement a different
approach. The solution would also complicate the existing code a lot.
We thus decided to reverse the relocation patching (clear all relocation
targets on x86_64). The solution is not
universal and is too much arch-specific, but it may prove to be simpler
in the end.

NOTE: powerpc32 code is only compile tested.
Changes v10 => v11:
1. Do not initialize "size" in __write_relocate_add(). (Petr Mladek)
2. Use __weak clear_relocate_add(). (Christophe Leroy)
Changes v9 => v10:
1. Revise commit log. (Josh Poimboeuf)
2. Various improvements in code style, comments, etc. (Josh Poimboeuf)
Changes v8 => v9:
1. Fix overflow check for R_X86_64_PC32 and R_X86_64_PLT32. (Petr Mladek)
Changes v7 = v8:
1. Remove the logic in powerpc/kernel/module_64.c, as there is ongoing
discussions.
2. For x86_64, add check for expected value during clear_relocate_add().
(Petr Mladek)
3. Optimize the logic in klp_write_section_relocs(). (Petr Mladek)
4. Optimize __write_relocate_add (x86_64). (Joe Lawrence)
Changes v6 = v7:
1. Reduce code duplication in livepatch/core.c and x86/kernel/module.c.
2. Add more comments to powerpc/kernel/module_64.c.
3. Added Joe's Tested-by (which I should have added in v6).
Changes v5 = v6:
1. Fix powerpc64.
2. Fix compile for powerpc32.
Changes v4 = v5:
1. Fix compile with powerpc.
Changes v3 = v4:
1. Reuse __apply_relocate_add to make it more reliable in long term.
(Josh Poimboeuf)
2. Add back ppc64 logic from v2, with changes to match current code.
(Josh Poimboeuf)
Changes v2 => v3:
1. Rewrite x86 changes to match current code style.
2. Remove powerpc changes as there is no test coverage in v3.
3. Only keep 1/3 of v2.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20190905124514.8944-1-mbenes@suse.cz/T/#u
